One night (before payday) I found my pantry and fridge was more bare that Old Mother Hubbard's. These are the ingredients I had one hand to make this tasty and comforting dish.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (thawed)
4 teaspoons cinnamon (divided)
4 fresh pears (peeled, cored and cut into chunks, reserve the pear cores)
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup raisins
1 tablespoon asiago cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large skillet, warm the oil over medium-high heat.
  • Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with half of cinnamon. Add the breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until browned; transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Remove as much flesh as possible from each one of the cores. Place in a microwave safe bowl (2 Celsius capacity) along with chicken broth. Microwave for 2 ½ minutes on high. Set aside.
  • Put chopped pears, cinnamon, salt, allspice, sugar and broth/pear liquid into a food processor. Process until the mixture is of applesauce-like consistency. Stir in the raisins.
  • Place chicken breasts into a lightly greased, 2 quart capacity casserole dish. Cover with the pear mixture. Sprinkle the top with 1 tablespoon of Asiago cheese. Bake uncovered at 325 for 35 minutes. Serve over a bed of steamed white rice.

I'm not a fan of chicken with fruit, but this dish was surprisingly good. The sauce was light and flavorful.

I didn't have any pears, so I used apples instead. The sauce was still delicious.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted almond milk for the heavy cream in the sauce. It turned out great!

This is a great recipe for a low-carb diet. The pear sauce is naturally sweet, so you don't need to add any additional sugar.
